How to Remove FastAgain PC Booster

FastAgain PC Booster (provided by Activeris Software) is a paid registry optimizer program. Its 2 main features; registry cleaning and defragmentation are only available for paid users; the only free feature that FastAgain PC Booster has is registry backup.

So it is hard for a user to check the efficacy of this software without buying a license key, because demo version doesn’t fix any problems. An option to get a free key is offered when a user attempts to uninstall FastAgain PC Booster, but you should register and pay for another service/product instead.

Even though it is no doubt a good application, however some of Activeris’ partners are using dishonest tactics into tricking users to install the product. This program can be distributed by bundling to free software using pay-per-install marketing method; so it may sneak to your PC as a part of another installation without you noticing this.

If so, it starts advertizing itself every time you launch your PC: pcbooster.exe process starts an automatic scan of your registry, and once done, it shows errors found on your machine. If you want to either fix these errors, or simply close FastAgain PC Booster, it shows you a reminder window with total amount of errors and advice to buy a license key to fix these errors. So if you were not aware when and why this software came to your computer, it can be considered as a self-advertisement.

If you decide to go to the checkout page, you will see a ‘limited time’ offer and discount that expire allegedly today for you to hurry up (but tomorrow you will see the same “special” offers). On this page, you can also find optional products which are always pre-selected and cost additional money:
